I just couldn't resist making another faux enamel ornament with my embossing powders.
For this card I mixed gold blue and white embossing powders with a little gilding flakes and before it set I embedded some gems.
I used a stencil and some distress inks for the background and Alison Bomber Christmas typed sayings for the background
I'm entering this for the following challenges

So unique and eye catching and love how you did that amazing Christmas bauble. The layering of the background looks fabulous too x
Dear husband has hidden the Sandwich maker grill after seeing me watch the demo on Faux Enamel!
I am determined to try this - your bauble is stunning Christine!
Very cool ornament card, Christine! I love the shine of the gilding flakes and the gems of the gorgeous bauble! The stenciling and the saying stamping in the background add interest in a nice and subtle way.
Love the gilding flakes and gems in this beautiful ornament, Christine! Love the poem and dots in the background that add extra interest!
Your ornament looks fabulous, Christine. I'd love to try that technique.
This is very pretty, Christine! It looks like world map ornament. Great!

This faux enamel technique wows me every time I see it (and haven't had the courage to try it as yet). You've got some fabulous glimmers in this gorgeous ornament (and the gilding was a brilliant idea to add in with the EP as well as embedding the jewels). The background really shows off this wonderful ornament. Love that song, which is sung in Netflix "The Crown". Just a marvelous card, Christine. Love it. TFS & Hugs
What a wonderful background you created for this lovely faux enameled ornament Christine! great colors on it!
